To achieve this, a period spanning twenty years 1990-2010 is taken, dividing the country into four regions, each one of these in three sectors, in which it is contained a part of the 59 metropolitan areas defined in 2012. The results prove that the relationship is presented with greater intensity, in those areas where is detected a further growth belongs to the service sector in the southeastern region.
